Former Vikings defensive tackle filing a $180 million lawsuit

Back during the 2013 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings felt they got a steal of a pick when they selected Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd in the second half of the first round.

By his second year with the Vikings, Floyd was already a starter on the defensive line and his future in the NFL seemed very bright. But things took a turn for the young Minnesota defensive lineman in 2016.

After appearing in one game for the Vikings during the 2016 season, Floyd underwent a knee procedure that was reportedly only supposed to keep him off the field for three to four weeks.
